Research Inc. offers a 40-V model as a part of its 9200 family of high-power
battery charge/discharge test systems. Suitable for xEV electric vehicle battery
power cycling and drive-cycle simulations, the Model 9200-4904 comprises
independent 12-kW dc power modules that enable testing of a number of smaller
batteries, each with a different test plan, power level, and start/stop times.
Alternatively, a higher-power battery can be tested by connecting the power
modules in parallel. According to the company, this configurable flexibility allows a facility to
optimize test resources. The series’ units provide walk-up usability through a
graphic user-interface touch-panel mounted on the system. Through this interface, the operator is able to
create, run, monitor, chart, and report unit-under-test (UUT) profiles without
writing any code.

CEO John Krafcik told the Automobili-D audience in Detroit that Waymo is building its own hardware suite with a fully top-to-bottom, full-stack approach. The classic auto industry vertical integration includes all vision sensors, radars and LiDAR, along with related “AI compute” artificial-intelligence platform.
